Were you told that if you worked hard and saved in your 401k that, one day, you would retire and secure your slice of the American Dream?

We were told that story, but if you look at the wealthy, that’s not how they got there. We’re excited to introduce you to Patrick Donohoe and his team at Paradigm Life because they specialize in an investment strategy that creates wealth, and they want to share it with listeners of The ONE Thing podcast.

We love to share stories about how people just like you are living the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results, whether those people are business owners, employees, parents, or, in this case, educators.

Jethro Jones is a high school principal and the host of the Transformative Principal podcast. He conducted an incredible interview with Geoff, and we immediately knew it was something we had to share with you because it gets right to the heart of how you can liveThe ONE Thing.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

Out of everything mentioned in this episode, what is the ONE thing that you are not doing that you can start doing, immediately?

Make sure that is is something you CAN do – something that you actually have the capacity to do.

In this episode you will learn...

[2:20] What happens when you protect time to do your most important work.

[5:45] What happens when you start saying NO to the 80% work.

[8:45] How you can communicate more effectively with the people you work with.

[14:00] How to enforce standards in your world (so that you can get what you want when you want it).

[24:00] Questions you can ask to get clarity on what Your ONE Thing should be.

We know finding clarity and purpose is difficult, so we're approaching it from a different angle today: how you can develop the courageous mindset you need to develop purpose, because we believe that anyone can have world-class purpose.

Sheryl Kline is an author, speaker, and coach who trains high-performance athletes in Mental Toughness. She shares the small but significant difference between you and an Olympian, and how you can close the gap between where you are and extraordinary results.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

You don't need to, and shouldn't, go on this journey by yourself. Nobody succeeds alone.

So, who are your five? Or, as Jim Rohn puts it, who are the five people you spend the most time with? Are they where you want to be, and are they living their ONE thing?

If the answer is no, you need to join the Living Your ONE Thing Community because that is what you'll get. We will help you believe in your DNA that you can do this, and discover what you want to be.

Were you told that if you worked hard and saved in your 401k that, one day, you would retire and secure your slice of the American Dream?

If you want to live an extraordinary life, you have to master something – but it only has to be ONE thing.

For many of us, mastering the ability to communicate with other people, or connect with others, is the ONE thing that will make everything else easier or unnecessary.

Today, we sit down with someone who has mastered the art of asking great questions: Susan Scott, the author of Fierce Conversations. This episode is so meaningful for us, and we think it will mean just as much for you because Susan models a Fierce Conversation live.

If you put yourself in our shoes and answer each question honestly, you will experience how profound having Fierce Conversations can be, and what will be possible if you invite more conversations like these into your relationships.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

Identify a relationship in your life that is not where you want it to be; a relationship that matters to you, and is hurting.

If the conversation IS the relationship, what do your conversations have to look like moving forward so that you can feel better about where that relationship is?

Remember, this talk doesn't have to be intense or negative – it can come from a place of love, and it can be delivered with candor and care.

In this episode you will learn...

[12:30] What the 4 goals of a Fierce Conversation are.

[19:00] ONE thing that many business owners are doing that ruins their businesses (and their relationships).

[25:15] the ONE thing you can do to make connecting on a deeper level easier.

Many of you have asked us the same question: How do I teach the principles from The ONE Thing to my kids?

We want to teach our kids how to focus, set goals, and think so that they can get what they need when they need it, but this stuff isn't taught in schools... or is it?

Laura Sandefer and her husband co-founded The Acton Academy. This is the school that Jay Papasan sends his kids to, and they are transforming the way that kids learn. We discuss what Acton's schooling looks like, and how you can show up at a higher level to develop your children into extraordinary people.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

As parents, we need a mindset shift. Luckily, there are many opportunities to do so. You just have to take action.

If you need more inspiration, head over toActonAcademyParents.comand choose just ONE blog post to take action on this week.

In this episode you will learn...

[2:10] How Acton turns learning upside down.

[13:00] 3 things you can do to incorporate more purpose and goal-setting in your family life.

[28:45] The ONE thing you can do, as a parent, to develop your children at an extraordinary level.

Were you told that if you worked hard and saved in your 401k that, one day, you would retire and secure your slice of the American Dream?

We were told that story, but if you look at the wealthy, that’s not how they got there. We’re excited to introduce you to Patrick Donohoe and his team at Paradigm Life because they specialize in an investment strategy that creates wealth, and they want to share it with listeners of The ONE Thing podcast.

We're always on our own road to mastery, trying to figure out how we can serve you better. So, anytime someone leaves the Living Your ONE Thing community, we make it a point to ask them a few questions.

Today we're sharing one of those conversations, a chat with Kerri Mees, because it is so powerful. We've come to realize that accountability starts by looking in the mirror, and no podcast or program will make a difference in your life if you are not, first and foremost, the type of person who chooses to be accountable.

What type of person will you choose to be?

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

You can change the direction of your future – if you are willing to accept that you can have anything you want by, first and foremost, narrowing your focus and doing the things that matter most.

We believe that you can do this. You just have to get up and practice every single day – and it only gets easier with support.

If you've been following us since the beginning, you may have noticed that many of our guests are not big names.

Most of the time, we're interviewing people just like you: real people who are livingThe ONE Thingand getting results. We share these episodes because we want you to know what's possible when you take action.

Today we're sharing a case study of someone who joined our implementation program as soon as we started offering it. Hearing the story of how Adam Wolfe transformed his life warms our heart, and we hope it will inspire you to take action, too.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

People like you and Adam who take action and start to get results are starting a movement – one that will help 100 million people take back control of their time.

Together, we can change the world by empowering others.

Will you commit to joining us and being the type of person who takes action? Will you commit to surrounding yourself with the people who will lift you up, and help you accomplish things you never thought were possible?

If you are listening to this episode and you want a greater that of accountability in your life, you can have it. The Living Your ONE Thing Community is full of productive people helping each other achieve more – all you have to do is take action.

Building a lasting legacy requires learning how to succeed through others, but before you can do that, you have to show up as a leader.

We have been looking at how to develop our own leadership skills, and what we've learned from today's guest, Jocko Willink, has blown our minds – so we want to share it with you.

Jocko is the author of Extreme Ownership and a retired United States Navy SEAL commander (he was the commander of the titular sniper in the movie American Sniper). His stories will help shift your mindset about extreme ownership and discipline – and if you make these shifts, it will transform how you show up as a leader and your ability to deliver extraordinary results.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

Imagine where you'll be in three months if you do this every day:

– Before you go to bed, write down the critical things you need to do tomorrow.

– Wake up early in the morning & exercise

– Attack that list and get those things done.

In this episode you will learn...

[7:10] Why there are no bad teams – only bad leaders.

[12:45] What it looks like when you enforce standards and take responsibility as a leader.

[25:30] How you can communicate more effectively with your team, and ensure understanding.

[29:40] How you can prioritize and execute (even in a stressful situation).

[36:25] Why hitting the snooze button is killing your dreams (and the ONE power habit that has given Jocko the greatest benefit).

[40:30] How you can take ownership of your day and control your emotions and outlook.

Everyone has at least one person who truly matters to them... and many of us are doing ONE thing that is harming that relationship.

InThe ONE Thing, Gary and Jay lay out the seven most important areas of your life: spirituality, physical health, personal, relationships, job, business, and finances. We often set goals around our jobs, businesses, and finances... but those are rubber balls, and if we drop them they can bounce back. Spirituality, physical health, personal life, and relationships are glass balls – if you drop one of them, it will shatter.

Lewis Howes is theNew York TimesBestselling author ofTheSchool of GreatnessandThe Mask of Masculinity, and he joins the show to share why you are hurting your most valuable relationships and the ONE thing you can do to turn it all around.

Do you wake up every single day intentionally adding value to specific relationships?

Too many of us take our relationships for granted, and we aren't approaching our relationships with a strategy – but nurturing the relationships that matter most is an under-appreciated and transformative power habit.

Steve Sims has built a legacy out of forming relationships at a very high level. He is the author ofBluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happenand the Founder of Bluefish, a concierge service for the elite of the elite. If you want to visit the Titanic, get married by the Pope, or have dinner at the footsteps of Michelangelo's David while being serenaded by Andrea Bocelli, Steve is the man who can make it happen – and he can do that because of the relationships he has formed.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

We want you to think intentionally about the people in your life. Write down a list of everyone you like, and if you write down a name that you actually don't like you will feel it in your gut. Put a star next to that person.

Then ask yourself a few questions about that person:

– What role do they serve (if they serve one at all)?

– What should that relationship look like moving forward? Maybe there shouldn't be a relationship at all.

– What's the ONE thing you can do, such that by doing it, will allow you to shift that relationship?

Have this conversation with yourself and take action – because, truly, you cannot afford not to.

When Hurricane Harvey devastated southern Texas, we at Keller Williams canceled a national convention so we could focus on relief efforts.

We auctioned off the guest seat for an episode of the show, and Craig Goodliffe earned it with a very generous donation – but this conversation ended up being extremely valuable because Craig has been livingThe ONE Thingfor years.

Craig shares how he says NO, and how he leverages virtual assistants so that he can focus on his most important work. In the second half of the episode, we grill Craig and ask a series of questions that you can use to find clarity and transform your life.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

Out of everything in this episode, what is the ONE thing you can do that will make focusing on your most important work easier or unnecessary?

In this episode you will learn...

[2:00] How the 5th productivity thief steals your time.

[5:05] How to get clarity on the ONE thing that is stealing most of your time.

[13:00] How (and where) you can leverage virtual assistants.

[20:40] How to shape your environment so that it supports your goals.

[30:40] Questions you should ask yourself if you want to be more accountable to your ONE thing.

Do you ever feel like you’re so focused on the future that you forget to be present in the moment?

We know that stopping to celebrate the moments that matter is required, and that’s the purpose behind JavaPresse Coffee Company.

Marc King is a regional director and coach within Keller Williams, which gives him a unique perspective when it comes to controlling our time. With his help, we created this training on overcoming some of the biggest challenges you have with your time and the easy way you can take back control of it.

This training ended up being really helpful for some members of the Keller Williams family, so we also wanted to share it with all of you.

As always, we challenge you to think BIG about executing these lessons on a very high level, and then go really small. Out of everything in this episode, what is the ONE thing you can do that will make everything else easier or unnecessary?

We discussed a few specific things in this episode that you can choose from:

Are you creating Your 411 every week? If you need some inspiration, head over towww.the1thing.com/411excelto see how Geoff does it.

When you look at your goals, can you change them so that they're activity-based instead of goals-based?

If your 411 feels like a to-do list, can you make it a must-do list?

Are your priorities in order of priority?

Does your calendar reflect your priorities?

In this episode you will learn...

[6:45] What will change if you develop more clarity on your priorities.

[14:00] ONE tool that can give you absolute clarity on your priorities (if you use it correctly).

[15:45] Why you need to set goals in both your professional and personal lives.

[17:50] 4 questions you can ask to gain absolute clarity on your priorities.

[37:50] Why you need to make your calendar reflect your priorities (and ONE simple exercise that will help you do it).

We talk about what it takes to create a bestseller, and you get a peek into the mind of a marketing genius. Ray's insight goes much deeper than writing – it applies to any business, product, or service.

This conversation isn't just about books – it's about business and serving people at the highest level. When you look at what you do, is there a deep-felt need? Is it a small market or a big market? Are you selling hope?

And out of everything you heard today, what is the ONE thing you can take action on today?

Open up your calendar and schedule 15 minutes so you can create a plan for putting it into action.

In this episode you will learn...

[3:30] Why Ray focuses on publishing just ONE book at a time (compared to the average publisher, which releases 2-500 books a year).

[9:00] Why you have to "create" a bestseller – you don't just write one.

[12:00] How you can assess the size of a market (number of potential customers) and a market's depth (the strength of the felt need), and then leverage that information to market your product or service.

[24:10] What you need to ask yourself (and do) before you start creating a new product or service.

[35:20] Why all you need to have a successful and thriving business is 1,000 raving fans.

We know that you're a high achiever. We know that you want to have a thriving career and a vibrant personal life – and you want to leave a legacy that will last.

However, so many of us are focused on the wrong thing – being "successful" – and the actions we are taking today are leading us down the wrong path. We're struggling too, and we're committed to figuring it out so that we can serve you at a higher level.

To help, Gene Hammett shares his story: a case study of what happens when you go down the wrong path, lose everything, and then make a course correction. If you pay attention (and then take action), you'll be better prepared to avoid the trap of success and position your business as THE choice for your customers.

We recently spoke to a few members of the Keller-Williams family, and the response touched our heart – so many people said this is just what they needed to hear, so we want to share that conversation with you, too..

We will be covering many of these topics, in much greater detail, during our first live event:

This episode is dedicated to you, and we want to thank you for taking this journey with us.

Like you, we're on a journey to live our ONE Thing, every day. Gary Keller laid everything out for us, but living Your ONE Thing isn't as easy as reading a book; it's a lifelong pursuit of personal mastery.

So today we're getting vulnerable about our own journey. Former guest and ONE Thing Trainer of the Year Chad Hyams turns the tables on Geoff Woods and interviews him about the most significant lessons he has learned, and actions he has taken, over two years working with Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.

We were told that, if you worked hard in school, got a good job, and saved in your 401K that you would retire and secure your slice of the American Dream... but if you look at the wealthy, you’ll see that that’s not how they got there. Patrick Donohoe and his team at Paradigm Life specialize in an investment strategy that creates wealth, and they want to share it with listeners of The ONE Thing podcast.

So many people trying to grow a successful business create a product, try to sell it, and then focus on scaling... but they're making a massive mistake.

We made this same mistake in our business, too, for at least a year. Then we heard about the bookHacking Growth, and it changed the way we thought about marketing.

Sean Ellis is the author ofHacking Growth, and he was responsible for scaling businesses like DropBox, EventBrite, and LogMeIn – and those companies achieved tremendous levels of success because they did ONE thing differently.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

We challenge you to run a survey that helps you understand WHO your must-have users are and WHY they consider your product a must-have.

The first question: How would you feel if you could no longer use <Name of Your Product>? They can answer Disappointed, Somewhat Disappointed, Not Disappointed, or Not Applicable (I no longer use it).

The follow-up question: What is the primary benefit that you have gotten from this product?

In this episode you will learn...

[1:40] What "hacking growth" really looks like.

[5:45] How Sean improved the usage rate of a product by 1000% in just four months (and the unexpected way that affected company growth).

[9:20] What it means to create a "must-have" product.

[13:20] How to identify whether or not your product is considered a "must-have" (and then leverage that data).

[19:00] How you can foster more love for a product.

[24:30] How to hone in on your most beneficial product features (and why it is important).

Do you ever feel like you're working hard in your career, but it's not your calling?

We know that discovering your purpose is a massive question mark for so many of you, and recently one of the members of our Living Your ONE Thing Community, Deb Cornella, shared something heartfelt and vulnerable about her purpose – and we had to share that conversation with you.

During the episode, Geoff asks Deb a series of questions, and we hope you do yourself the service of answering these questions, too. Don't just be a passive content consumer – If you consciously choose, instead, to implement, you will get a massive amount of value from this conversation.

Too many of you will listen to this and then do nothing, but this is an opportunity for you to bring purpose to what you're doing, cut through the mental fog, and finally get clarity (in under 30 minutes).

When you hear the questions that Geoff asks, what were your AH-HAs, and how can you take action on that today?

In this episode you will learn...

[1:40] What would you have to do in the next 12 months to feel like you're on track for your 5-year plan?

[5:35] What's the legacy that you want to leave?

[6:15] What's the ONE thing that you're not currently doing that would give you a massive sense of clarity on where you're going?

[7:00] What are you getting up, every day, and trading your life for?

[12:10] What's the one thing that's most likely to stop you from doing your ONE thing?
